Einstein-Elevator, Research tower at Hannover Institute of Technology Nord, Germany
The Einstein-Elevator stands 29 meters tall and operates as a scientific facility for conducting experiments under controlled microgravity conditions at Hannover Institute of Technology.
Engineers and scientists initiated the Einstein-Elevator project in 2016, following five years of planning and development at Leibniz University Hannover.
The facility brings together international researchers working on quantum physics experiments and material behavior studies under space-like gravitational conditions.
The research tower performs up to 300 tests daily with a gondola capacity of 1,000 kilograms and maintains microgravity conditions for four seconds per experiment.
The facility incorporates roller coaster technology with machine tool positioning systems to achieve precise movements within 0.1 millimeters across 33-meter distances.
